Pantone’s 2026 color of the year is technically not a color at all — meet Cloud Dancer, the first-ever white shade to receive the designation from the world’s color authority.

"Sir, please. SIR! PLEASE! Sir! Let me drink my fucking tea! Why are you wet!" - A series of responses to Gyoza this fine morning, who is wet because he shoves his chest into his cat water fountain so that he can drink from the opposite side.

The thing no one tells you about those treat dispenser balls that provide hunting enrichment is that, unless you feed your cats in a bare room with no furniture, you'll occasionally hear a plaintive meow and have to go provide your apex predator with an assist because they knocked it under something

Surprising no one, after reorganizing my yarn I have come to the conclusion that I need to go yarn shopping.
Did I reorganize my yarn because I just ordered yarn? Yes, but it wasn't the right yarn.*

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.
It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

I showed up at the forest restoration event yesterday and the staffers told me they'd picked out a terribly overgrown tree especially for me to deal with and y'all, I felt so seen and appreciated for my tendency to bury myself in unearthing the Worst Tree That No One Else Wants To Work On.

We are trying so fucking hard not to squirt Gyoza with the water bottle when he starts batting at the TV screen and I fear we're training him to expect to get treats when he does it instead.

Read a not-great book, popped into the reviews to see if other people had the same issues I had, and discovered people saying they hated the "toxic age gap" between the love interests.
Y'all. The MC was in a magical coma for decades, and thus technically was born decades before the Love Interest.

I can only imagine the people who get mad at a romance for having a happy ending also get mad when an Italian restaurant doesn't serve sushi. You are in the wrong place for the thing you want and that's on you!
I saw the most bonkers conversation on tiktok where people were arguing that Romance doesn’t need an HEA and authors were fighting for their lives in the comments trying to explain what a genre convention is. Again, trying to sell me a mystery with no crime and see what happens.
God we need more craft discussions and less fights about which tropes are good or bad that play out in a way that makes it clear no one even understands what a trope is anymore.
